Christ Bearing Witness to Himself: Being the Donnellan Lectures for the Year 1878-9, Delivered in the Chapel of Trinity College, DublinCassell, Petter, Galpin, 1879 - 184 sider It is the faith of Christendom that Jesus Christ was a supernatural, perfect, and divine man. To the assaults of infidelity we oppose the evident fact that no power existed in the ancient Church capable of elaborating such moral qualities, miracles of such an order, or a humanity so sacred as adorn the Gospel story. But this is not the whole of our case. Perhaps it has not been sufficiently considered that even if early Christian impulses had rightly combined all admirable qualities, and had discovered the principles on which a perfect Being should wield the powers of Deity, the task would not have been accomplished. When we speak of a supernatural man, a perfect man, and a divine man, we speak of a man. Great moral qualities and a correct employment of divine power are one thing; a man is another thing. And the doctrine of the Incarnation is not made good by showing the Jesus Christ had great moral qualities, nor by proving that he employed divine powers correctly; the doctrine of firms that he was man. - Preface. |

Side 136 - I wish you were dead, my dear; I would give you, had I to give, Some death too bitter to fear; It is better to die than live. I wish you were stricken of thunder And burnt with a bright flame through, Consumed and cloven in sunder, I dead at your feet like you.
